1. Navigate to Network|Server Name.
2. Enter information for the following fields:
 Server Name – specify a name for your appliance.
 DNS suffix – optional; this field sets the primary DNS suffix. Specify the
DNS suffix to create a fully qualified server name.
 Change primary DNS suffix when domain membership changes –
check this box if you want to update the primary DNS suffix when the
appliance domain membership is changed (for example, at
Network|Server Membership).
The web UI will refresh and open to the Quick Setup screen after the appliance has
finished the configuration change. Changing the Server Name may cause Internet
Explorer to prompt you to accept the server certificate again.
Server Membership
Server Membership indicates the type of network to which your appliance is
connected. This section provides a brief description of the configuration settings in
the Server Name web UI feature and how to access them.
While domain membership is optional, your appliance needs to belong to some type
of network group, like a workgroup or Microsoft Active Directory.
If you use Active Directory on your network, you will select the Domain option and
specify the name associated with it.
If your deployment does not require joining a domain, select the Workgroup option
and provide a name to identify it in the accompanying text field. Workgroup is the
default setting.
Note: If you join your appliance to a domain, it is a recommended practice to add at
least one domain user to the local administrators group and to use that
account to administer the appliance.
To join the appliance to a domain:
Notes:
 These instructions require credentials for a user with permission to add a
computer to the domain.
 You will need to reboot the server to complete these steps.
